    Unable to Join Homegroup either on Laptop or Desktop


    Hello,

    After upgrading both Desktop & Laptop to Win 10, I am not able to JOIN Homegroup. Both computers show the option Homegroup: READY TO CREATE. Nomally when a Homegroup is created through one of the computers in network, Second or other computers should show it as READY TO JOIN. But that is not happening.

    Internet works on the both computers. I can even see each other computer in Network. But Laptop, most of the times, is unable to open up shared Desktop and shows Path error.

    Using TP Link MR3420 Wifi Router. DHCP enabled.
    Desktop using Belkin Wifi Dongle to connect to wifi network.
    Laptop (Lenovo) has builtin Wifi.

    Any suggestions/solution please ?

    :)

    Homegroup issues in Windows 10

    Original Title: Homegroup

    I have a desktop and a laptop that I want to connect to a homegroup. When I go to the HomeGroup tab on the laptop it says the desktop has created a HomeGroup and to Join now. When I click that it asks for a password, so I then to to the desktop and go to
    the HomeGroup tab, which says the laptop has created HomeGroup and to Join now.... so neither computer seems to think it has started a homegroup but each thinks the other has, and the result is I can't join either because they won't provide a password.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Unable to join homegroup windows 10

    I am running Windows 10 64-bit on a desktop and Windows 10 32-bit on a laptop computer. I created a homegroup on the desktop computer and the laptop is able to see the homegroup on the desktop computer, but I am unable to join the homegroup. I get the
    error "Windows no longer detects a homegroup on this network. To create a new homegroup, click OK, and then open Homegroup in Control Panel." However, when I click OK it says "You've been invited to join a homegroup." I've run the homegroup troubleshooter
    on both machines (the host computer [desktop]) and the computer that I'm trying to join to the homegroup [laptop]. But, nothing seems to change. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem?

    Thanks,

    Brian
